Vision and mission statement
Coalescion, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, envisions sustainable human survival, security, and "thrive-ability." Achieving this starts with improving the quality and impact of interactions among public, private, and citizen stakeholders worldwide. Rising political divisiveness, endless conflict, and destructive economic competition are colliding with a steep decline in authentic human connection, pushing humanity toward crisis.
​
Yet, this trajectory can be reversed. When people engage with the intent to create mutually beneficial outcomes, they foster an atmosphere of possibility. Win-win conditions open the door to creative solutions for complex challenges. That’s why Coalescion is dedicated to analyzing, designing, implementing, and advocating for integrative strategies that cultivate authentic interaction, understanding, cooperation, and empowerment.
Coalescion performs its essential mission through four distinct service pillars.
​
Pillar I, Research & Analysis: we conduct original studies, assessments, and analyses to shed light on human relationship and engagement dynamics in government, civilian, military, professional or civic contexts.
​
Pillar II, Engagement: we work with U.S. and international government, private sector, multilateral organization, and civil society partners to advance capacity building efforts to improve policy, safety and security, economic and trade, and innovation efforts.
​
Pillar III, Training and Education: we deepen citizen understanding of the national civic and global relations and security issues of our time. We offer courses, webinars, and individualized learning experiences for public, private, and citizen stakeholders to build shared understanding among them and to enable them to work together to achieve mutually reinforcing outcomes at home and abroad.
​
Pillar IV, Advocacy: we leverage wisdom from the first three pillars to raise awareness on issues impacting human systems, relationships, and cooperation. We work to integrate stakeholders into processes so that they are equally understood, valued, and positioned to optimally contribute to shared human security and well-being goals. Finally, we cultivate relationships with those interested in working with us to amplify our efforts and mission.

The world is a finite home with finite resources and the most effective way to protect it, is to start with “people” strategies – as the great George Carlin once said, “Save the planet?! We don’t even know how to take care of ourselves yet!” He was right. Learning to peacefully and productively, engage, work, and live with each other may be the fastest and most enduring way to preserve this planet we call home.
